Jason Crowe Jr. reflects on NBA players as mentors

The combo guard was joined by his father Jason Crowe Sr. on the 10-time NBA All-Star Paul Pierce's "Truth Lounge" podcast last month and talked about getting advice from five-time NBA All-Star Jayson Tatum and nine-time All-Star Russell Westbrook:

"Jayson Tatum. I talk to him here and there. He always gives me pointers and stuff like that. I text him every couple days and stuff like that. And then obviously Westbrook, playing for his program, we talk very often, just give me pointers and stuff like that and so that's it." (32:53 - 33:11)

Crowe Jr. has another year before he makes a decision on his collegiate career.
